Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News. Tuesday, October 4th, 2022 stand up for your country. One of the ways you stand up for your country is to vote. But I'm getting a feeling that the midterm election, as important as it is, and absolutely probably the most important midterm in my lifetime. Here is an American citizen. I get the feeling of turnout is going to be a little lower and people think. We live in an age of tribalism.
Starting point is 00:00:42 We live in an age of self-centricity where people are caught up in whatever they do. It's not a unifying force in this nation at all now. And, you know, November 8th's going to roll around pretty fast. And people are, you know, you don't have a Trump, you know, who's a magnet for love, hate. I don't have that. It's a lot of theory. The media has declined in visibility and in influence. So it's basically on the American people themselves.
Starting point is 00:01:17 And that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. Now, Republicans should be motivated. If you're a Republican or a conservative individual who's registered independent and you're not motivated now, you're never going to be motivated, okay, because the country has veered so sharply left and there's so much insanity and destruction visible. You can see it. You can see it that if you don't vote now, you're never going to vote. And then add to that the higher prices for everything.
Starting point is 00:01:52 and the pursuit of happiness declining all over the place. How many people are really happy? You know, we got to worry about our bills, we've got to worry about our jobs, got to worry about our kids and the culture. I mean, worry, worry, worry, worry. So if you're a Republican or conservative, you're motivated to vote.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Will you vote? I think you will in greater numbers than the Democrats. So the Democrats, there are, Tribes that will vote, the abortion tribe, will absolutely come out. But those tribes are becoming more and more and more. They call it Balkanized. The Balkans are a region in Europe, and there are a lot of countries in the Balkan region, different places, different cultures.
Starting point is 00:02:41 That's what's happened in the Democratic Party. Got the far, far left that are driving the power there. But most African Americans aren't far left people. They're not. They're people who want attention, who want fairness, who believe they've gotten hosed throughout history. I'm generalizing, of course. But are they happy with the Democratic Party? How could you be? I mean, the bad economics, inflation, real wages going down, affects African Americans the most because they have the least. So are you going to trot on out there? I don't think so. I think the African-American vote's going to be suppressed. And that does not show up in the polls, by the way.
Starting point is 00:03:34 It's not that the African-Americans are going to pull the lever with the Republicans. I don't think so. More Hispanics will, though, that's for sure. It's a different situation, different culture, obviously. So I'm going to give you some stats now. Monmouth poll first. Not a reliable poll. This is a university in New Jersey. It's a good school. But they're not right a lot. However, they took a survey of 806 adults, 29% Democrat, 28 Republican, independent 43. That's fair. That's fair. And they asked the following, do you approve or disapprove of the job U.S. Congress is doing? Approved 23, disapproved 66. So that's not a good sign for Congress.
Starting point is 00:04:19 which is more important to you in deciding who to support for Congress, fundamental rights and the democratic process, or the economy and cost of living. Rights, democratic process, 38, economy costs of living, 54. So right there, you've got to give the Republicans and a big advantage, a 16-point spread. Okay? Next question, would you rather see Republicans or Democrats to control of Congress, Republicans 36, lean Republican 11 for a 47 total, Democrats 34, lean Democrat, 10 for a 44. That's very tight, tighter than I would think in this age of inflation and declining wages.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's tight, according to this poll. Final question, this is month to month. So in August 2022, which party you want to control Congress? Republicans, 43, Democrats, 50. And now, September, Republican 47, Democrats 44. This is a big sweep. Okay, so Democrats lost a lot of ground in the past few weeks. Trafalgar poll.
Starting point is 00:05:33 This is a better poll. It is fairly accurate or has been in the past. 1,079, unlikely voters. Democrat 39, Republican 36, nonpartisan, 24. First question, how much does the increase in the price of groceries impact your motivation to vote in 22? Very much, 51, somewhat 17 for 68 plurality, not much 16, not at all, 16, 32. So that's a key right there. People are, go to the grocery, so they have to go.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Every time they go, they don't like the Democrats, right? So price hikes. This is according to the Washington Post. Eggs up 40% from last year. 40%. Those chickens are living large. Butter up 29. Deli meats, 18. Milk, 17. Bread 17. Serial 17. Can vegetables 17. potatoes 15%. So the things that Americans most eat are up, up substantially. Despite all this, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, fanatical progressive, doesn't particularly care about
Starting point is 00:06:56 the country, in my opinion, my humble opinion, wants power, wants to keep power. So she goes on Colbert, you know, their brother and sister. And she says, hey, you know, you know, You know, Democrats are going to keep the House. Go. Okay. Here's the thing. When we won in 2020, and again, fewer seats, but still holding the House, we start it right away to prepare for the next election in terms of organization. Own the ground.
Starting point is 00:07:25 When you mobilize, you must own the ground to take out the vote. And that's true. Democrats are much better at that than a Republicans. Now, you'll say, cheating, cheating, cheating. And yeah, okay. Zuckerberg pumps $500 million into the 2020 election. It's legal, even though he's being sued. But the Democrats, they know who the voters are.
Starting point is 00:07:50 They know where they live. They're going up, and they're going to knock on a door. Will it matter now that Trump's not in the equation? That's the key. But I would bet Pelosi, a fairly high wager, that she's going to be out of a job. Not going to be Speaker of the House come January. Now, the Senate is harder because you got guys like Herschel Walker.
Starting point is 00:08:16 So Walker should win that seat in Georgia by a lot. He's been on his program. I know him a little bit. But every two weeks, there's another scandal about Herschel Walker. And the latest one is that he had a girlfriend, and he paid for an abortion for the girlfriend. Now, the news agency to put that out is a far-left revolting news agency, Daily Beast.
Starting point is 00:08:46 You know, it's like, okay. And Walker went on Hannity last night and said this. Go. I never asked anyone to get an abortion. I never paid for an abortion, and it's a lie. And I'm going to continue to fight. You know, I tell you, that's what they want. They want this seat.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Okay, here's what you got to do, Herschel. And I'm just talking to you like a human being here. This is a serious accusation. If you did it, you got to say you did it. I don't know how you do that, but you can't lie about it. If you did not do it, then you've got to go after the Daily Beast. You got to have your attorneys. sue them. And if there is a person alleging that she had an abortion, you got to see that person
Starting point is 00:09:37 if you did not do it. And you have to do that now. So that the people in Georgia who are going, what the deuce is this? Every two weeks we got another child fathered by Mr. Walker or this or whatever. But if this is not true, then your lawyers have to mobilize now. And you have to the press conference with your lawyers and you have to say this is false it never happened and we're going to file this against the daily beast now if you do that and indeed if you did not pay for an abortion then that will turn that race around you'll win your seat because georgians will see you rightly as a victim of this smear but if you did it you're going to look even if you admit you did, you can lose. And Warnock, who is as progressive as it gets,
Starting point is 00:10:37 will win the Georgia seat that should be held by a Republican because the citizenry of Georgia is not basically progressive. Just two places are, Atlanta and Savannah. That's it. In that whole state, that's all. So when I see that, you know, I'm saying to myself, this is what might tilt the Senate to the Democrats or keep it tied when then Harris breaks the tie. Okay, another last one. And this is most people see themselves as victims from time to time. I try never to do that in my own circumstance, although I have been victimized and so have you. So have everybody.
Starting point is 00:11:24 We've all been victimized. That's just part of the human condition. But according to a Pew study, and Pew is pretty good, that both sides, conservative and liberal, feel they are losing the culture war. Both sides feel they're losing. So 72% of Americans feel their side is losing. And it breaks down to 81% of Republicans and conservatives feel they're losing your culture war of the Democrats. And 66% of liberal Democrats feel they are losing the culture war to Republicans. That's just interesting. He's caught my eye.
Starting point is 00:11:59 All right, Biden's schedule today did nothing. More reproductive health care. Oh, yeah. Okay. He's going to Florida tomorrow. I assume he'll be greeted by Governor DeSantis. We're tracking it. Nothing much.
Starting point is 00:12:16 This could be more federal money that Biden signs over to Florida, which is a good. It has to happen in these storms. You know, Biden, federal spending in two years up. up above $2 trillion now. Do you know that? $2 trillion in new spending, not stuff that he inherited. And that's why inflation is going crazy. You can't spend at that level.
Starting point is 00:12:41 And you drive the value of the dollar down. You know, your dollars don't mean anything if there's $2 trillion more in circulation. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the market. markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post, wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, here's my, and I have to congratulate my staff for getting this data in a very short period of time because I'm a pest. I mean, I'm always calling them and saying, hey, we got to get this, we got to get that. So I wanted to know if any Democrat running for office in November, five weeks from today, if anybody had requested Joe Biden come in and campaign alongside them. just give me one no one now trump as you know is run around all the place campaigning for republicans who are asking to commit not one by nobody my staff found out we went over every all the races nobody wants biden what does that tell you oh boy all right Doug showed here he is everyone, our go-to election guy, Democratic political strategist, but an honest man. And he studies
Starting point is 00:15:29 his stuff every day. He's kind of in shadow here. Where are you? Are you in some office someplace, or you're not in your house? I mean, an office that is dimly lit-built. My apologies. It's all right. You look better. Thank you. That was a cheap shot. I didn't really mean that, though. No, come on. Come on. All right. So we ran down a whole bunch of stuff. And the most important to me is the groceries. So, yeah, people. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You know a lot of Democrats. How, if you're a Democrat, can you vote Democrat with all the bad stuff happening in the country? Well, two things, Bill. First, what you said about groceries is that inflation is a lot higher than the 8% to 10% were being told. And people feel that. That's number one. And number two, what Democrats. candidates are doing is not only not campaigning with Joe Biden, they're running away from
Starting point is 00:16:29 the Democratic Party, the national leadership, and the ideology of the Inflation Reduction Act, and big spending. So my party is literally in retreat. All right. So they are banking on abortion and other niche issues in their own states to win. That's what I'm getting here, right? They're not going to run on a national issues. They're trying to get a localized issue with abortion in the forefront. They are, but the polling that I think we discussed last time and certainly the case now, abortion is receiving as an issue, as inflation and the cost of living are becoming more and more important,
Starting point is 00:17:16 which is what's helping the Republicans and the Democrats, as you suggested, and correct. bill are out of ideas okay so the Democrats don't really have anything to run on if you were consulting for a Democratic Senate candidate what would you what would you tell him run on what I I tell him you're standing against the National Party you stand against their positions and you're for the local citizenry of whatever state it is against Washington that's what I tell it not a great argument we're not seeing a lot of, hey, let's seal up the border again from Democratic candidates anywhere. We're not seeing that. And that's a huge issue. We're not seeing that Joe Biden's incompetent
Starting point is 00:18:01 on the economy. They never say that because they need the money coming out of the Democratic campaigns. They need funding, right? All true. To me, the big issue, particularly in states like Arizona and Nevada, where there are two competitive Senate races, is the border. And that issue in and of itself could be enough to give the Republicans control of the Senate. But Kelly, who's going to win in Arizona, I believe, he's a Democrat there. He's a gun guy, and he basically says, I want law and order down on the border. I mean, he doesn't, he's not an open border guy.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And the candidate against him doesn't seem to be making any headway. Laxalt in Nevada, I think, will win. and it's not even as close as the polls say it is out there. I think he's going to win fairly easily. But let's go to Walker in Georgia. Do you disagree with my analysis there? No,
Starting point is 00:19:00 not at all, Bill. Herschel Walker should be five to ten points ahead as Governor Kemp is. And Herschel Walker, if he is able to credibly maintain that he didn't pay for the woman's abortion, does have a 50-50 chance of winning.
Starting point is 00:19:16 But as you pointed out correctly, The narrative is about Herschel Walker personally, not about Republicans and Democrats and the issues facing us. If that happens, it only hurts Herschel Walker. Now, I have said that I believe that African American voters will not turn out in the numbers they did two years ago. Do you believe that? I tend to agree with it because African Americans usually vote in presidential elections more heavily. The Trump factor motivated them, some for him, more against him. And this year, the Democrats do not have a motivating theme or issue or argument to get minority voters out.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And your point about Hispanics is exactly right. The Republican percentage there is well over 40 percent and growing. What about the violent crime issue that the Republican senatorial and congressional conducts are hitting very hard? Why wouldn't the African-American community suffering at the hands of violent crime more so than the white affluent community, obviously? Why wouldn't they turn against the Democratic who are making the violent crime easier? Why wouldn't they vote Republican? Two reasons, Bill. First, the Democrats have managed to racialize the issue so that if you're pro-law-in-order, you're pro-crop and pro-Republican.
Starting point is 00:20:48 But second, the Republicans haven't made that argument, Bill, the way you make it, which is that the importance of the crime issue to minorities is much more important to them than to the majority white community. If the Republicans did it, it would only advantage them with minorities. Yeah, I mean, it's just insane. If you look at the stats and the victimization, the violent crime victims in places like New York City and Chicago, it's 80, 85 percent of the victims of violent crime are black. And it's black on black crime. Not white's killing them. Right. You know, and you're right.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I haven't seen that really in the forefront. Now, Donald Trump, the Democrats obviously want him. him in the next five weeks to be a part of the election so they can mobilize people who hate Trump. How do you think that Trump or are you seeing any difference in Trump's demeanor now that the midterms are closing in? I think Trump is toning down his act a good deal, Bill, at least from what I see, and the media at this point is giving him less attention than they had previously during the raid and when the January 6 hearings were in full swing. So my sense, as the election approaches, Trump will be less and less important to how people vote, except for the hardcore Democrats who hate Trump and will be voting against the Republicans regardless of Trump nor no Trump in the mix. But the January 6th committee is going to drop their final report, I'd say within two weeks, maybe three weeks, and try to make Trump the center of it again, trying to say, okay, Trump did it.
Starting point is 00:22:42 That's what they're going to do. And everybody knows they're going to do it. Will that bring Trump back in as a factor in the midterms? It will bring him back if one, the media tries to make him, which I think they will. to how Trump reacts. If Trump has a discreet and specific comment, rebuts it, and then moves on, it will be far less potent as an issue against the Republic. I don't know if I'd count on that, Doug. We have, yeah, I mean, yeah, I've got a Trump segment coming up. All the trends are benefiting the Republican, as you suggested, with the Monmouth poll, and the date is pretty, pretty,
Starting point is 00:23:29 pretty clear for the reasons you suggested in your talking points memo and your audience should remember that. Well, they will remember because I'm so obnoxious. I remind them every two minutes. I'm not going to make a prediction now. I will make it probably two weeks before the election. And that's when we'll talk to you again, because things change so far. But right now, if the election we're held tomorrow, I would say Republicans will win both
Starting point is 00:23:52 the House and the Senate. And I think you think that too, Doug, right? I do think that, yeah. Right. And we appreciate it. Even though the conventional wisdom is to the contrary. Yeah, but conventional wisdom, come on. We're much smarter than that. You know that. I'd like to think so, Bill.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Hey, Doggway, it's always great talking to you. Thanks very much. The audience loves you. The audience loves you. I get so much positive mail on you, and we'll talk to you in a couple of weeks. Well, I appreciate the chance to talk with you. It's always a pleasure, Bill. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:21 All right, Kamala and Corinne. Kamala and Corinne, everyone. So, Vice President Harris got in trouble. because she suggested that the federal aid given to Florida because of Ian, the hurricane should be given out on a race-based preference color should dictate that African Americans get the money first, whatever. But no, no, no, no, Corinne, Jean-Pierre, the White House v. Thursday. We all got it wrong. That's not what Kamala really said. So first of all, Kamala, then we'll have Corinne. Go. We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place. And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and do that work.
Starting point is 00:25:17 The vice president was clearly talking about long-term investment, not FEMA aid for hurricane response efforts. the vice president and the president have been clear that the federal government has been and will continue to be there for all Americans recovering from these devastating storms. Well, the last part of her statement is true. The White House backed away fast from Harris's comments. But the first part of Ms. Jean-Pierre's statement is false. She wasn't talking about long-term. She's talking about Ian.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And the FEMA money going to fly. Florida because of Hurricane Ian. That's what she was talking about. So this kind of spin, but it's really lies. But, you know, look, almost all press secretaries do it, but not at the extent of John Pierre does it. I mean, she's just lifted that spin bar so high. You don't even have to stoop to do the limbo anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:17 You can just walk right under it. Trump, okay. He suing CNN, defamation, $475 million. I'm sure you heard this. He says that this network, cable news network, is trying to prevent him from running again in 24, and they lie about him all day, every day. So that's in play. And then he says, after the January 6th committee, it's a report,
Starting point is 00:26:50 if you tell you being any news agency, if you tell your viewers and listeners that I wanted the violence at the Capitol, I'll sue you too. So that's what Trump's doing. Okay. Will he win? No. Does he know he won't win? He knows he won't win, or at least his lawyers do, but his lawyers get paid, so why not do it? Right. The reason he won't win is because the media is constitutionally protected. So if they want to go on and say Trump did X, Trump did Y, Trump did X, Trump did Y, Trump did Y, they can do it with exceptions. If they did what they did to Herschel Walker in a very specific window, Trump may be able to then go in and win the case. But this is too general. But it doesn't matter because Trump wanted to do two things. He wanted to mobilize or re-energize the MAGA base.
Starting point is 00:27:53 So now Trump's back as the Avenger. It's going after CNN. And that magabase, they love that. So that's a political move. And that's why he did. And second thing is his dopey-do book out of anti-Trump book. But it's Trump's fault. He gave this woman, Haberman, three interviews, even though Haberman has battered him for five years, six years. Believe me, I get interviewed Chris all the time. If I know somebody batters me and has been dishonest about me, and certainly Haberman has, she led the Russian collusion stuff. Why would I have it to talk to you?
Starting point is 00:28:31 I would never do that. But this is the fame addiction. This is what I talk about in killing the legends. Fame envelops you. And so Trump says, yeah, I'll talk to her. You know, I know she's going to bash me anyway, so I might as well. but it helps her anti-Trump book so the book comes out today this is designed to take it a little bit of attention away but the big thing is to energize the maga base okay now i was on with charlie kirk
Starting point is 00:29:03 uh you may know him on the radio um and he asked me about trump roll it what do you think president trump what do you think his role in the midterms is going to be I mean, a year around him, quite often you did a tour with him. You know, there's whispers that he's going to announce for president soon. How do you think he factors into this midterm election? I hope he disappears because it doesn't do Republicans any good to have Donald Trump around the midterm elections. It's an issue-oriented vote.
Starting point is 00:29:39 So the Democrats desperately want to make it about Trump, which is why the bogus January 6th committee in the House will release their findings probably two weeks out before the vote to try to center independent voters on Trump again. See, it's the independent voters, Charlie, that always make the difference. All right, so that's good advice. I mean, if you're Donald Trump or if you're the Republican Party and Donald Trump was a Republican president, just, you know, play a lot of guys. Let this vote be about issues, not emotion.
Starting point is 00:30:22 The reason Donald Trump lost his emotion, Donald Trump did a good job. We've gone over that and over that and over that, and over that. And there's no question he did. If any of your friends or coworkers tell you that as President Donald Trump did not do a good job, just walk away. Inflation 1.3%. Come on. Real wages up 3.5%.
Starting point is 00:30:45 for everybody across the board. That's the average. Remain the Mexico policy, stop the man is on the border. The only thing that didn't really impact was violent crime because the federal government can't control the crazy leftist local DAs and governors. So now let the folks vote on what Biden's done. Take Trump out of it. So there's an interesting story. New York City, got about 3,000 migrants who have come here, people who will cross the border illegally, waiting for asylum, whatever they are waiting for.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, he's appalled by all this because city's got to pay the bills. Got to put these people in housing, get them food, get them clothed, all of this. Okay? So, Adams, yesterday said this. I don't know if you have really picked up what's happening. The far right is doing the wrong thing. The far left is doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I mean, the silence, I don't believe the silence that I'm hearing. Well, the far left opened the border, Mr. Mayor, but I don't feel sorry for you. Here's what you said a couple of weeks ago. Go. You pledged during your campaign to keep New York City a sanctuary, a city. Do you have any concern that that policy is attracting more people to the border? More people across the border to make that dangerous trip? No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:32:32 This city has always been a sanctuary city, and we've always managed those who wanted to come to New York City to pursue the American city. American dream. Not now. You're not managing there. You don't want them there now. You're screaming about it now.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Oh, yeah, we're a sanctuary city, but don't come here because we got to pay your bills. Well, what do you, who do you think is paying the bills down on the border? Come on. Well, it's easy to be noble, right? Easy to be virtual. It's, we're in sanctuary city. We want to help the downtrod. We want to help the bore.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yes. But don't come here. No, it's like the Martha's Vineyard thing. So there's Adams going, oh, there's silos. Hey, it's you and all the other dopey mayors and governors who impose sanctuary cities. That's what led to this. Poland. Never been to Poland.
Starting point is 00:33:35 One of the few countries in Europe, I admit to it. So Poland got hosed in World War II, re-killing patent. if you want to know, how bad they got, Nazis went in, killed millions of Poles. It was awful. The six years of Nazi occupation. So now Poland says to Germany, we want reparations. We want $1.3 trillion. So the foreign minister of Poland has now sent an official correspondence to Germany saying,
Starting point is 00:34:05 we want $1.3 trillion. So the Germans, what do they get? nine. They're not going to do it. They wouldn't even pay their fair share for NATO or help Ukraine the way they should. The Germans are in for the Germans. Always been that way in that country. But I thought that was interesting. Smart life. So a friend of my, Mike Breen, he's the play-by-play guy for the New York Knicks. He also does other basketball all over the place. Great guy, Fordham grad. lives in my area, his house burnt down. He was out on the West Coast vacationing with his wife and his house burnt down. And he lost everything.
Starting point is 00:34:46 All right. So I'm looking at this and I immediately texted Breen. I said, look, you know, anything I can do and I got a guest wing, you might want to stay. Whatever. Brin's a good guy, okay? Known him for a long time. So one of the things when I'm watching this is Breen lost. every bit of memorabilia he ever had, his kids pictures, sporting stuff, everything.
Starting point is 00:35:12 You can replace the threads and stuff you lose materially, but you can't replace the other stuff. So I asked my staff to explain to me how I could save all my pictures and my kids' pictures and all of that on a hard drive, and they gave me this sheet. Okay. Now, I am incapable. I'm going to have to hire a 12-year-old, but apparently you can do that of all your pictures. You can save it on a hard drive somewhere and put it somewhere outside your house. So if your house burns down, you'll lose anything. But what I'm going to do is buy a big fireproof safe. And then some people say, well, they don't always stop the fire. But in a smart life situation, there are things that you want to keep forever and one of them is momentos of your life okay and so I'm looking around if you guys know about a a big safe that's fireproof I'll I will buy it and and I hope reen and you know you just don't understand why this kind of stuff happens this day in history October 4th 1957 uh 655 years ago

That's what I was scared. All right, so Leave It a Beaver debut, 65 years ago. Today, it never was a hit.
Starting point is 00:37:14 It never cracked the top 30 shows in six years on the air. But every boomer remembers it. Okay? It's almost inexplicable. Well, you go, leave it a beaver. Everybody knows what it is. But it wasn't a giant hit. So Jerry Mathers, he kind of left acting after that.
Starting point is 00:37:32 he's the beaver. He's 74 years old today out in California. He worked as a commercial loan officer at a bank. Tony Dow, the older brother. He just died in July at 77 from liver cancer. He did act. Barbara Billingsley, the mother. She acted as well. Didn't get a lot of roles. She died at 94 in 2010. Hugh Bono, the father. He was a script. writer after the show. He died in 1982 at 73. But interestingly enough, he went back to Grand Rapids, Michigan and became a Christmas tree farmer. And finally, Eddie Haskell came off, one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time. He was a LAPD guy. He died at age 76, two years ago. And basically, he was a middle
Starting point is 00:38:32 class guy. All right, he was awarded a lifetime pension after he was shot in the line of duty in L.A. Okay, leave it to Beaver 65 years ago today.

Starting point is 00:40:09 Sylvia, message board. Biden's not as dumb as he looks. Everything's happening. He has his full consent. He allows himself to be manipulated. He doesn't care. At the end of the day, he will go back to his lovely mansion. You break in my heart with at the end of the day, Sylvia.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Oh, but anyway, I don't think Biden. Biden is in full mental capacity mode. Scott, Jill Biden is a person most responsible for the current situation. She knew her husband was going downhill, but let him run anyway. I think that's true. Marissa, Vice President Harris only wants black people to get federal aid from Hurricane Ian coming from the administration shouldn't erase this comment like that elicit some kind of backlash. Well, it has, I mean, made Vice President Harris even less popular among many.
Starting point is 00:40:59 millions of Americas, but she didn't say she only wants black people to get federal late. She did not say that. She says she wants black people to go to the front of the line. BJ, thank you Bill for reminding me to step back from annoyances. I've been stressed because of these. It'll make your life a lot better. I was, I can't tell you how annoyed I was yesterday. It was like up here. And I just had to take the tarotog for a walk. I had to get out. And it diminished, but they can kill you. Jerry, not only are the polls there's dishonest and skew the results, the people that answer the polls are dishonest, which provides for a double down.
Starting point is 00:41:40 How do you know that, Jerry? How do you know the people being polled are dishonest? I don't think they're dishonest. I think it's a poll encompass themselves. Hugh Anowack, Cascade Charter Township, Michigan, the most interesting aspect of your conversation with Dr. Lieberman concerning the mental acuity of President Biden was when you asked about First Lady Jill Biden.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Although it doesn't take a psychiatrist to know Mrs. Biden must realize the state of her husband's mind and overall cognition. Why do you continue to insist that she and the president's other handlers will not try to get him reelected because it's impossible to get him reelected? It's impossible. There's never, never.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Would he win? That's how bad he's been. And everybody knows it. Okay. Nick Matia, East Meadow, New York, right around my corner, just finished reading, Killing the Legends. Very, very interesting.
Starting point is 00:42:28 King. Killing the Legends, I hope you get it. You'll like it. It's a history book. That's what I got to sell. Those people, they don't get the history of these three guys and how they affected the way we live today. Word of the day, do not be Malificic, M-A-L-E-F-I-C. Malific, don't be that. Back with a final thought in a moment. Final thought of the day, on the internet, they have my SAT scores, okay? And they say, when I graduated from high school, I had an almost perfect SAT of 1585. This is on the Internet. Not true.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It's that close to being true. I think I had 500 points lower than that. Now, even though this helps me, because it makes me look very smart on the Internet, It's not true. Now, the powerscore.com put it up, but they say, well, we haven't been able to confirm the validity, but it's there. And then I'm trying to tell you about the Internet, even though that helps me. I don't want it there. I was lucky I broke a thousand in the SATs.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I was a dopey kid. Still a little dopey, but it's much smarter now. Don't believe on the Internet. all right thank you for watching and listening our radio listeners all across the country to that no spin news we'll see you tomorrow
